Coverings 2014 marks the return of the super show and conference to the West coast

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Online registration for Coverings 2014, the largest international tile and stone exposition and conference, which returns to Las Vegas from April 29 to May 2, 2014 opened recently. Coverings 2014 marks the return of the super show and conference to the West coast, this time in the South Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The show is anticipated to offer more than 900 exhibitors representing more than 35 countries, in addition to a robust program of Continuing Education Unit (CEU) accredited seminars, demonstrations and networking opportunities -- all at no cost.

"As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Coverings, we 're exceptionally proud to be the only show that can offer the breadth and depth of tile and stone exhibitors from around the globe, coupled with a truly significant educational offering for every segment of the tile and stone industry, " said Karin Fendrich, Coverings show director. "What's more, we pride ourselves on holding an event that is at no cost to our attendees including: the exhibit floor, all of the valuable CEU conferences sessions, workshops and demonstrations, featured speakers and many of our networking events.

"Coverings provides a wealth of information and the business-building resources companies need to be successful when it comes to the tile and stone industry," continued Fendrich. "It 's a truly amazing value that all architects, designers, tile and stone retailers and showrooms, wholesalers, installers and contractors, and builders and developers, have continued to take advantage of for the past 25 years."

In the December 2016 issue, we look at some highlights of the Marmo+Mac 2016, and the new renovations of the Freemasons' Hall in London, England. We also present some new products, technology updates, machine of the month, and stone of the month.

For this issue, we are excited to share with you four features that focus on using compact and ultrathin slabs in both residential and commercial projects. As these products continue to gain popularity, we wanted to share different ideas of applications, including an upscale dining environment in the interior of a Saks Fifth Avenue.
